[Opinions] Sidney vs. Sean
Which one would you choose for a boy, and why?
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Sean. I've only known female Sidneys. I know it's technically unisex, but the long e sound at the end feels very feminine to me. I don't think it's unusable, but I'd personally choose the more masculine name.
Sean is more masculine which is why I’d choose it. Sidney is unisex and a bit dorky (can I say that?).
Sean. I don't really like it much, but Sidney/Sydney sounds like a girls' name now, and on a boy it's always sounded sneaky and conniving, like a used-car salesman from fifty years ago.
Hi Billina !!!
It is difficult...
Both are old-favourites of mine but actually I would not choose them in real life nor for a character.
Both are...boring. They are too basic and not tied to anything special in my mind.
I prefer Sid (m, full name) and Sydney (unisex) to Sidney.
I prefer many Scottish names to Sean / Séan.
But If I have to choose one so... Sean.

I like Sidney more, nice name!
I don't like either, but I'd choose Sidney, because it sounds more classic.
